Hold them cheap May who ne’er hung there 2 G.M. Hopkins (1844 - 1889) Nomination of the Dolomites for inscription on the World Natural Heritage List UNESCO THE TENTATIVE LIST AND THE NOMINATION OF THE DOLOMITES This Nomination Document is the answer to the Decision to defer the previous nomination of the Dolomites (2005) expressed by the World Heritage Commit- tee during the Thirty-first Session Christchurch, New Zealand (23 June – 2 July 2007). In detail, the World Heritage Committee having examined Documents WHC-07/31. COM/8B and WHC-07/31.COM/INF.8B.2, defers the examination of the nomina- tion of The Dolomites, Italy, to the World Heritage List on the basis of criteria (vii) and (viii). As outlined in the document licensed by the Word Heritage Committee at the end of the 29th session held in Durban, South Africa, in July 2005, Italy has proposed the Dolomites as one of the sites deserving consideration for a possible future nomination as a site of outstanding universal value. The request was included in annex 1 of the Tentative List dated march 31st 2005, whereas the denomination ‘Dolomites’ is defined in annex 2 “Tentative List Sub- mission in accordance with decision 27 Com 8a” and annex 3 (Properties ac- cepted as meeting the requirements for Tentative List), within the scope of the broader denomination ‘Alps’, which also includes a) Western Alps and c) Eastern Alps, under the category ‘Natural Sites’. This is in complete compliance with the procedure specified by article 64 of the UNESCO Convention, which stipulates that the nomination proper must be pre- ceded by the compilation of a Tentative List constituting the “inventory of the sites that each country deems appropriate for inscription in the World Heritage List”. States are therefore required to include in their respective Tentative Lists the names of all sites they consider to be cultural and/or natural heritage of outstand- ing universal value. The Inter-ministerial permanent work group for the World Heritage List UNESCO, set up through collaboration between the Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali (Ministry of Cultural Heritages and Activities) and the Ministero dell’Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio e del Mare (Ministry for Environment, Land and Sea), has acted effectively in this spirit. Indeed, the two ministries have already been considering nominating the Alpine Region as a serial cross-border site for some time. The nomination documented in this dossier is the result of the work of the two ministries and the substantial efforts of five provincial authorities in the North- East of Italy. 3 ... Imagine mountains which have the shape of gothic cathedrals, castles in ruins, belfries, immense walls, high towers, steeples and pinnacles, pietrified thunder- bolts. Mountains made of rocks which change their color as the day goes on: sun- rise, morning, noon, sunset, evening, night... they could be white like the snow, yellow like the sun, gray like the clouds, pink like a rose, black like a burnt wood, red like the blood... Which is the color of the Dolomites? Is it white? yellow? gray? pearly? Is it the color of the ash? Is it the reflex of silver? Is it the paleness of the dead? Is it the shade of the roses? Are they rocks or clouds? They are real or they are dream? Dino Buzzati (1906/1972) Nomination of the Dolomites for inscription on the World Natural Heritage List UNESCO THE DOLOMITES ARE SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS The Dolomites are nominated as a serial property since they appear as an organic whole even though they have a complex structure both from the geographical/ Provincia di Belluno landscape and the geological/geomorphological point of view. In fact the different systems make up a composition of evidence and landscape peculiarities, inter- linked by a network of genetic and aesthetic relationships. This Nomination Document proposes that the unique landscape of the Dolomites be recognized through the award of World Heritage Site status, in particular be- Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano-Alto Adige Autonome Provinz cause of their universal importance for the Earth Sciences (the Dolomites are one Bozen-Südtirol of the historical locations for the origin of Heart Sciences) and for their oustanding natural beauty and aesthetic importance. The achievement of long-term protection and positive management for the nomi- nated Site is a central concern of the proposal. Work towards this nomination has taken several years of active local, national and international consultation, and the Provincia principles and priorities for management have been established through thorough di Pordenone debate. A management framework has been prepared to accompany this nomi- nation, which points up the common engagement of the local Administrations and outlines the future management of the nominated area. The Provincia di Belluno, part of the Regione Veneto, the Provincia di Pordenone and the Provincia di Udine, included in the Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia- Provincia Giulia, the Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano - Alto Adige / Autonome Provinz Bozen- Autonoma di Trento Südtirol and the Provincia Autonoma di Trento have prepared this nomination, with the scientific contribution, assistance and advice of distinguished professors, many people and institutions. We believe that World Heritage Site status would provide an important contribution to the long-term conservation of the Dolomites and it would ensure that its earth science interests and its outstanding beauty are Provincia properly recognized. We are fully committed to working together to support the di Udine protection and public understanding of these superb mountains, in partnership with the many organisations and individuals who own, manage, visit and value it. We are delighted, therefore, to commend this nomination to the World Heritage Regione Autonoma Committee of UNESCO.

  • Monte Spinale
    ACCESSIBLE VIEWPOINT - MOUNT SPINALE gruppobrenta.it © description UNESCO Dolomites system Brenta Dolomites mountain group(s) Brenta UNESCO values Landscape: the Dolomites are the universal archetype for a specific mountain landscape that takes its name, “Dolomite landscape”, from these very mountains. A number of key features define this particular landscape. Firstly the extremely complex topography, distinctive for the mountain ranges that, while separate, are juxtaposed in a particularly contained setting. Secondly, the uncommon variety of shapes, both vertical (cliffs, needles, spires, pinnacles, towers and jagged peaks) and horizontal (ledges, roofs, overhangs, crags, plateaux and high plains). First and foremost however, the Dolomites are famous for their exceptional varieties of colour and the extraordinary contrast between the soft lines of the pasturelands and the sudden vertical thrust of the stark, bare mountain peaks. The remarkable mountain landscape that we see today has changed very little since it formed millions of years ago. The unmistakable, familiar shapes of the Dolomite peaks are none other than the atolls and coral reefs of those ancient times, while the Alpine passes and inhabited valleys we see today correspond to the deep stretches of sea which originally separated them. This is the only example in the world of a fossil landscape that is as recognisable as this, a tropical archipelago that has transformed into extraordinary towering mountains. Geology: The Dolomites are one of the best conserved examples in the world of fossil reefs and tropical environments of the Mesozoic era. They preserve fossil evidence of the organisms which were instrumental in their formation around 250 million years ago.

Climate change is seriously affecting the 1 Introduction cryosphere in terms, for example, of permafrost thaw, al- teration of rain=snow ratio, and glacier shrinkage. There is concern about the increasing number of rockfalls at high el- The recent decades have seen a pronounced warming in evation in the last decades. Nevertheless, the exact role of global climate, primarily at high elevations and high latitudes climate parameters in slope instability at high elevation has (Schär et al., 2004). Temperature across European Alps has ◦ not been fully explored yet. In this paper, we investigate 41 increased of about 1.4 K per century over the period 1906– rockfalls listed in different sources (newspapers, technical re- 2005, which is more than double the global average (Brunetti ports, and CNR IRPI archive) in the elevation range 1500– et al., 2009) and further increases are expected according to 4200 m a.s.l.
